In his opinion, at present, the “hot spot” is in the Middle East, and more or less calmly in the Baltic region.
“And I think that none of the parties - neither the United States, nor the EU, nor Russia - want a conflict here, because everyone understands that the“ hot spots ”are today in the south,” said Helme in an interview with baltnews.ee.
The minister noted that “if for some stupid reason a conflict breaks out here, it will not bring benefit to anyone, so you cannot say that today there is a threat”.
At the same time, when asked whether he believes in the Russian attack, Helme noted that today he does not believe, but does not know what will happen in ten to fifteen years.
Earlier, Finnish Defense Minister Antti Kaikkonen said there was no Russian military threat.
